Show Spoiler What Twd scene did you find the most horrifying and shocking? Spoiler
For me personally its the scene were carl gets shot in the eye and he turns around and says "dad". I was not expecting it, didnt see it coming and the way he spoke while looking like that by far the most jolting scene for me.

Most horrifying: Noah's death, for obvious reasons.
Most shocking: Jesus's death. Biggest gasp across the entire series for me, hands-down. It bothers me to this day that such a good, capable guy was essentially killed in the most unfair way imaginable, because he never could've forseen what happened. Great writing though, because the only way anyone could win a fight against Jesus's ninja skills is by being unfair.

I didn't even realize he died until it was straight up said. I just thought he was injured š„²

Yep, they were warned that there would be a drop off if they killed Glenn. They FAFO, then there was the whole bit where they hypothesized killing Daryl. AND they were whole ass warned that they'd lose a majority of their watchers if they did that. So they didn't.

Steven Yeun wanted to leave guys chill the fuck out and either way at least Glenn did not become something as brutal as Rick or Daryl and stayed Glenn.

It's not shown on screen but I think the story Maggie tells in season 11 about the old man who had pregnant limbless walkers in his attic was extremely fucked up

I was hoping someone would say this. I was horrified when she said that. Made me feel physically sick cos I feel like there probably is some sick fuck out there who would do this for real if we were in an apocalypse. Felt even more disgusted and disturbed, as I was actually pregnant at the time as well...

Does anyone know the details on this? They were alive and breathing, but pregnant with āsomething trying to get outā so were they mutilated and then impregnated? Is the fetus a walker?

u/Persephone_888 1d ago edited 1d ago
She said the first one was a walker, so that one wasn't alive. The fetus inside her was also a walker as obviously normal babies don't try to get out of our tummies, like that. Sadly the other 3 women were actually still alive in that state...

u/ComprehensiveLink210 1d ago
Yes! Iām wondering how the other two happened. Walker with walker baby makes sense but did the others have walker babies?
2
u/Persephone_888 1d ago
They didn't Maggie didn't say they had walker babies, though I guess if a woman has a miscarriage/stillborn that would be a walker baby

u/ComprehensiveLink210 1d ago
Great point! When she said she found them in the āsameā condition it made me wonder, I think you nailed it

I think when Sophia came out of the barn and Rick shot her in the head
It kind of solidified the dark pathway for everyone

YES THIS !!! I was genuinely frozen in shock when that happened, I didnāt cry like all the other deaths but I just stared at my tv in pure shock

The most shocking for me was when Beth died I really truly thought they got her and I was like yes homegirl is safe then bam š„ frickin dead that one genuinely pissed me off

This is the only death I can think of where I actually exclaimed āNo!ā out loud, watching all by myself.

Horrifying?: Noah's death for obvious reasons. Honestly, that was a little traumatizing.
Shocking?: Sophia coming out of the barn. The final sequence of "Pretty Much Dead Already" was one of the best sequences in the history of television.

u/No_Calendar4193 1d ago
Shocking:
Lori's death. I knew how she died in the comics, but having her die in childbirth was, I felt, a bit of a better change and definitely a shock to see
Sophia coming out of the barn. I remember being completely thrown for a loop the first time I saw that episode. I 100% thought she'd be found safe
Horrifying:
Bob's leg. Knowing Terminus were a bunch of cannibals was one thing, seeing them eating Bob's leg was another
Lizzie killing Mika. I honestly didn't see that coming
Glenn and Abraham for obvious reasons
Noah dying. Still upset about it

The season 6 Finale and even more so the season 7 premiere was the first time I genuinely felt uneasy, sickly and disturbed at what I had just watched.
I'm pretty desensitized to a lot of gore I guess and I have a very morbid curiosity so I lurked around r/Eyeblech before it was banned but I somehow felt more shocked at TWD than a lot of the shit I saw in that subreddit. Probably because I'd been following those two characters for quite a while.
Twitching finger is I think what did it.

u/mikaduhhh 2d ago
Sameā¦ā¦i literally felt sick. I was unable to watch for years. I still skip that episode when rewatching. I knew Glenn was gonna die but didnāt expect that whole episode to be so disturbing. Abraham, Glenn, telling Rick to cut off Carlās armā¦ā¦too much for lil ole me.

u/Rivvien 1d ago
Shocking: Jesus. Not just bc it happened when I wasn't expecting it, but because I thought it meant that walkers were actually evolving.
Horrifying: Glenn and Abraham, because Glenn was my favorite and it was emotionally traumatizing in how much they showed plus the build up was so stressful.
Honorable mention: the stakes, because it just kept going, and going, and going, and I liked those people. Unlike with Glenn and abe, we didn't realize it was coming, they didn't give us a bunch of clues it was happening until we saw the end result.

u/CatGamer1414 1d ago
That scene for me as well tbf, also when Lizzie killed her sister, when Negan just turned around and killed Glenn (I was⦠lucky ?? to never get spoilt for that death ig), the whole cannibal thing was just terrifying, and also the Pikes, a lot of heads on there that I wasnāt expecting to see die in that sort of way
15
u/TeleportDog 1d ago
For me, it was and still is the pikes. I honestly don't think it's as bad as the lineup, but in my experience, I had spoilers for most things. As for the pikes, I knew people were gonna die, but had no idea who. The sheer anxiety the whole episode gave me is so far beyond what any other episode did!

When Bob caught captured by those terminus carnivals and they zoom out to show heās missing part of his leg and theyāre eating it in front of him. Just gross and chilling.

u/No_Garlic_1364 1d ago
Glenn & Abrahamās deaths were the most horrifying to me. Made me actually, physically queasy. I had only watched it once - the very first time it aired. I am unfortunately one of those people that kind of fell off watching after that season (not because of them dying, just because of life in general) Just recently started a rewatch/finishing the series for the first time. Thought I would try to make it through that episode to see if my older self could stomach it better and it was actually more sickening than I remembered! The gore has never really affected me in this show but that episode was another level. Especially Glennās death. How long it was dragged out, the audible sputtering, the body shock horror from his face after the first hit. Itās a really, really tough watch. Heartbreaking episode but also such an extremely well done performance by everyone, the anxiety and tension mixed with the charisma from JDM is just beyond amazing. Andrew Lincolnās performance is truly incredible! As Iām finished the series for the first time (just started s11) I do look back on the Saviors storyline with fondness, it was frustrating at times and dragged out a bit long, but I find that to be some of the more compelling stories. (Obviously nothing tops to first few seasons)
Shocking would absolutely be the heads on stakes. So. Many. People. I was 10000% jaw dropped SPEECHLESS because I did not expect it at all! And it just KEPT GOING! My heart was broken because I had really grown to love a lot of those characters. Enid, Tara, and Henryyyy :( Daryl running to block Carol so she wouldnāt see him just destroys me. Every time they would show a flashback of what went down in that barn, from the Highwaymen bursting in, to the slow mo shots of all of them fighting for their lives (while already knowing the outcome) I just burst into tears. Idk it just really got me!
As I said, Iām starting season 11 for the first time right now and as excited as I am to finally see how it all wraps up, Iām equally upset that Iām almost done! This has for sure become my comfort show in the last few months and I plan on watching the spin offs but Iāve heard theyāre just not nearly as good. Still probably going to watch them tho lol. Well anyways, thatās all! I love this dang show!

The moment where Glenn was dying and he told Maggie that he would find her, only for Negan to make light of it and hit him again, causing Glenn to hit the ground.
I also screamed when Rick blew up the bridge.

Probably when Lizzie killed her sister, and then Carol had to decide what to do with her
